Summary
With over 7 years built at the intersection of technical execution and business strategy, I specialize in converting "Digital Transformation" from idea to competitive advantage. As a certified professional, I bridge the gap between vision and reality, while creating a safe-space where teams achieve their true potential.
I led multiple digital projects in the Insurance and O&G industry, delivering value with peaks of 5x ROI. Under my guidance, teams transformed from silos to effective and efficient mutli-disciplinary delivery squads with global footprint. I coordinated backlog definitions and directed negotiations and contractual set-up generating 15 to 30% cost savings.
Whether it´s about leading a digital transformation project, a specific work-stream, a process improvement, a PMO initiative, or a tender and RfP process, I am here to ensure all the parties steer in the same direction to achieve the organization’s strategic objectives.
